Sure Wish I Finished Training... See What I F'd up Today? Everytime I see a nasty wreck on a dry road on a summer day, it's a Swift truck. Everytime I've had someone nearly back into me three times in a row, it's a Swift truck (with a trainer sitting on his ###). Everytime I see a truck taking up more than one parking space, it's a Swift truck. Not saying they don't have good drivers, but they sure have alot of idiots.

I'm sitting right now in the International dealership to have a warranty job finished and get some routine maintenance done. Right next to me is a red Prostar with the front wheels sitting at an odd angle and the bumper tied to the catwalk.
Strange that it does not say "Swift" anywhere on the vehicle.DenaliDad Thanks this. -
Swift is "the largest" fleet operator in the country? Yes?
So to judge a carrier you have to use "accidents per mile driven" and when you do I think you'll be surprised.

I started my career with Swift 20 yrs ago. At that time they offered free training in Phoenix, free hotel and free food. I stayed with them for 3 years. I made money and did ok and ran flatbed, vans and reefers and like the flats the best.
